Almond nails are a popular option for celebrities, though anyone can use them. They are a bit more sophisticated than other nail shapes, which gives them a bit of an edge. They are also known as slenderizing, which means they help your fingers to look thinner. This shape is also good for the nail, helping it to remain strong even as it gets longer. European women love this shape, but it is also common in the U.S.

One of the best reasons to use almond nails is because they create a very strong presence from which you can build. Not only do they allow you to show off your nail color, but they are fantastic for those who want to wear larger pieces of jewelry.
So, how do you create almond nails? First start with some nail prep. Push back the cuticles. Then, look at the base of the nail, the portion near the cuticle. It is that shape, the curve there, that you want to mimic along the top of the nail.

You'll want to match that same curve as much as possible. This will create a fantastic look, but also a very natural look. It does vary in shape and size for each person, but if you follow that curve, you will create a fantastic almond nail shape. You can then do what you wish with you. Paint them or just place a clear coat of polish on them for something a bit less standout.
